Bonnie woke up early; she barely managed to get some sleep. After she came back from the Salvatore house, she snuck back to her room to lay down on her bed trying her best not to wake her friends up. She thought she will be better after she spoke with Damon but everything happened upside down. She couldn't forget the elder Salvatore's icy eyes, filled with a lot of guilt. She never saw him that way; he was almost…almost… desperate, as if he really wanted her to forgive him. At least he doesn't make him as heartless as he seemed to be. He is able to feel something. What if he tries to show his human side to her?

'No, Bonnie you know that that's a lie. You're not Elena, you can't trust him. He is a vampire.' Bonnie argued with herself. The things she was feeling towards him were too strange, too uncomfortable. '…but he saved you. You called him and he came…''Yeah, because he thought Katherine was here too…' It was like a pro-contra list in her head. Why is it so damn hard? It was much easier when she had her powers. There was nothing strange and uncomfortable between Damon and her. There was nothing between them and that was the perfect relationship. No guilt, no regretful icy eyes, no white tulips… She missed the old times and most of all, she missed her powers.

She sat up on her bed and looked around. Her smile went wide when she looked down at her friends. Caroline was lying on her stomach, her hand was on Elena's head and her leg was over her back. They looked like a drunken octopus. Carefully she gets up and leaves the room the make a delicious surprise breakfast for them. She closed the door quietly and headed toward the kitchen but it wasn't empty.

"Stefan!" Bonnie cried out with surprise and tried to cover herself. Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable only in her yellow top and lilac panties.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to scare you." Stefan took off his jacket and handed it over to Bonnie. Bonnie quickly took the jacket and held it in front of herself like a towel because she realized the jacket was too short to cover her otherwise.

"Sorry but wh-what are you doing here?" Bonnie cleared her throat, feeling uncomfortable. She didn't wanna be rude but it's not like she was expecting him to be in the kitchen. Stefan sighed and poured some coffee into a mug. "Thanks but…I don't like black coffee" Bonnie shook her head when Stefan handed her the cup. Stefan nodded and put down the drink.

„I came over to help. I thought you might need some breakfast." Bonnie glanced toward the counter and indeed, there were a lot of pancakes on it. They looked appetizing.

"That was very nice of you Stefan, thank you." Bonnie smiled at him but there was still something weird. "That's all?" Stefan cleared his throat and took a step toward Bonnie. "No. I saw you last night and I was worried. Is everything okay with you? Did you speak with Damon? I asked him to, but… you know him."

"I thought I knew him." Bonnie sighed tiredly and took a seat next to Stefan. "Recently, he's been acting really weird. "

"He's been weird since that night.." Stefan put a pancake on Bonnie's plate and some fruits around it. Bonnie licked her lips from the sight of the food. "I know but he's weirder now. After that night, he avoided me. We barely talked. But since he saved me…why are you grinning?" Bonnie raised an eyebrow at Stefan who handed a fork to her.

"You said since he saved you and not since he killed your father… Do I finally see some sense in your eyes?" Bonnie rolled her eyes and grabbed the fork. "That doesn't mean anything and I do know he saved me I just don't care."

"Childish." Stefan murmured and walked to the refrigerator. Bonnie's eyes widened. "Excuse me?" Stefan sighed, closed the refrigerator door and faced with the former powerful witch.

"You're angry with Damon I get that and you have every reason to be upset but I've known my brother for a very long time and believe me, he is not a bad person. His biggest fault is making bad decisions at the spur of the moment but I know deep down inside he has his human side and this side does care for you, Bonnie. He will try to make things right somehow- in his own way- but you make it so hard for him. I know he did terrible things to you but he's sorry. It just isn't in him to have the capacity to utter those words to you. Why can't you just forget the past and give him a chance? Please." Stefan finished his monologue with a sigh of relief because he really needed to tell those things to Bonnie. She needed to know these things.

"Why are you defending him? Are you his guardian angel? You can tell me anything Stefan and it won't change my mind." Bonnie shrugged indifferently and she bit the pancake. "Why do you want me to forgive him, anyway?"

"I miss my brother, Bonnie. I miss the old days when you two used to argue like an old married couple. You made him better and whether he knows this or not, he needs you. He needs someone whom he respects and can control him. So far you're the only one who applies to those requisites. There is also the fact that I think I like you two…together."

Bonnie's jaw dropped, her eyes become wider than ever. "As a… couple?" She barely could say the word 'couple' without struggling. Seconds later, she started to laugh immediately. "You're basically telling me that you want me to be your brother's girlfriend. And they say you don't have a sense of humor…"

"I didn't say that." Stefan couldn't help but smile as well. "Wait a minute… who says I have no sense of humor?"

"No one. Your humor is hilarious." Bonnie said quickly and whipped away a teardrop from the corner of her eye, still laughing. "See? Your humor gave me tears." Stefan rolled his eyes but he also started to laugh.

"What's going on in here?" Caroline stepped in the kitchen with closed eyes and messy hair. "I need coffee." She yawned and headed toward the counter while she touched the wall like a blind person. Her hands suddenly bumped into a hard chest. "Oh, hi Stefan." Stefan watched as Caroline touched the seat and climb up on it.

"Caroline, open your eyes already!" Bonnie snapped when Caroline elbowed into her plate.

"I can't." The blonde vampire moaned and lays her head down to the counter.

"Elena is still sleeping?" Stefan asked from the doorway. "Yeah, I hope. When I woke up my hand covered her face so I hope she didn't drown." Stefan laughed then left the kitchen. "Hm what's this good smell?" Caroline sniffed the air and opened her eyes. "Pancakes! Yummy." She grabbed a plate and threw some onto it.

"You can find some on your elbow too."

"What were you guys talking about before I came in?" Caroline ignored Bonnie's comment and took the syrup.

"Nothing. Stefan told a joke and it was funny." Bonnie cleared her throat and sipped her orange juice, her favorite morning drink. When she was with Damon, he never gave her coffee for breakfast. There was always an orange juice on the tray beside the vase with the white tulip…'He made breakfast for me.' That fact was scary yet funny all at once. It was also quite a nice gesture…

"Stefan? Told a joke?" Caroline repeated with disbelief. Bonnie shook her head to forget her strange thoughts. "Yeah, but not that I look back at it, it wasn't that funny…"

oooOOooo

Stefan and Elena sat on the couch at the Salvatore house's living room and they were talking. They thought that it would be a romantic afternoon since Stefan launched the quiet easy listening music and Elena brought some chocolate cake so it was a sweet afternoon, just the two of them…

"Hmm, I smell love in the air…" Stefan rolled his eyes and turned to face his brother who walked across the room towards the whiskey bottle. "So… the witch enjoyed her little surprise party?" He asked indifferently while he put some ice cubes into a glass. "I guess you lost my invitation." He gave a brilliant smirk to Elena before he sipped the gold liquid.

"There was no invitation Damon. You knew about the party, you could have joined us if you wanted to."

"Sweet Elena, should I explain to you the meaning of sarcasm?" Elena sighed tiredly. "I meant it Damon."

Before Damon could say something sarcastic again, Stefan spoke. "Bonnie is fine, Damon." He knew that that's what Damon was interested in; he is just too stubborn to ask. Childish. As he thought, Damon's eyes flashed a little but as always, he covered it with a sarcastic comment. "That's lovely and…useless news my dear brother."

Stefan sighed and stood up. He looked at Damon seriously. "Why can't you just apologize to her? You know that she would be glad. Besides, she deserves an apology from you for sure." Damon sipped his drink; he looked indifferent, at least in the surface. "She will come over for dinner tonight so you can talk with her then."

Damon put down the empty glass and looked into Stefan's eyes. Stefan knew him. He knew that he won't speak about his true feelings. Everything he did or said was just to put on a show for everyone.

"I will...right after she says a thank you to me." Stefan shook his head tiredly and sat back beside Elena who looked at him understandingly. "I have more important things to do so I'll let you continue this whole lame, corny afternoon."

Damon went back to his room and onto to his bed. A big, black travel bag was on the mattress. He grabbed it then left the room again. Stefan and Elena didn't even notice when he started the engine and drove off the parking lot.

How could he say sorry to Bonnie? She doesn't need a sorry. Bonnie needs deeds not words. Sorry is not enough. Damon squeezed the steering wheel as he thought back to that night.

xxxXXxxx

It was a cold, stormy night when Damon got a message from Klaus. He immediately went to Bonnie's house and roughly pounded on the door.

"Wake up witch; I need your witchy power!"

Damon didn't stop banging until Bonnie showed up at the door. She wore jeans and a purple sweater. Damon could see that she got dressed in a hurry.

"What the hell Damon? It's 3 in the morning! What do you want?" Damon didn't answer, he grabbed Bonnie's arm roughly and pulled her with him. Suddenly he felt the familiar pain in his head. He roared in pain but didn't let go of Bonnie; he squeezed her hand even more. "Stop it witch!"

"Tell me what you want!" Bonnie tried to fight with Damon's vampire power but it wasn't easy. Damon was really determined despite the huge pain in his head.

"Stefan is in danger! Bonnie I need your help!" The pain was unbearable by now. Damon closed his eyes and stopped moving.

"What?" Bonnie stopped with the brain killing and looked at Damon with wide eyes. "What happened? Where is he?"

"We don't have time to chit chat! He's with Klaus. Come on! We have to go!" Damon let go of Bonnie's arm and walked toward his car.

Bonnie watched as Damon opened the car door but she didn't follow him. Damon turned and looked at her nervously.

"Damon, I need to know more." Damon growled angrily and took a step towards her. "I need your help, Bonnie. For once in your life could you just trust me?" Bonnie sighed. "…Alright, just for once…"

After a few minutes of driving at what seemed to be the speed of light, Damon stopped the car by the woods and got out of the car with Bonnie. It seemed like he know the road because he instantly walked into the darkness. Bonnie followed him without asking any questions. Suddenly, Damon was behind her and grabbed both of her arms.

"We need to be quiet." Damon whispered to Bonnie just before she could torture him again. Bonnie slowly nodded her head. They barely could take two steps because a fire circle flamed around a big rock in front of them. Bonnie's eyes widened with terror as she saw Stefan laying on the rock, his whole body covered in blood looking like the dead as he seemed to be unconscious. Damon felt Bonnie's body trembling in fear but he still holds her arms firmly. He didn't even think of another choice; he has chosen the easiest one. When he spoke, his voice was firm and objective. "Here's the witch, now let my brother go."

"What? Damon! Damon…" Bonnie tried to escape from Damon's grip but suddenly a warlock showed up and somehow managed to block her powers. Damon gave Bonnie over to the warlock and took a step back. He didn't care about her screaming and imprecations; he focused on the shadow that stepped out from the darkness.

"Thank you so much, my friend. Your brother will be free as soon as your little witch does an…insignificant spell for me." Klaus folded his arms in front of his chest and looked at Bonnie with an evil smirk on the corner of his lips.

"Do whatever you want just be fast." Damon said impatiently and watched Stefan's motionless body, worriedly.

"Damon…no! Please…Damon!" Bonnie cried helplessly. The warlock tied her hands and held her in place. They were standing beside another big rock. An opened book was placed in the middle of a pentagram surrounded by white candles.

"So you are the famous Bennett witch. It's amazing how much power that's still locked inside this young body…" Klaus slowly walked beside Bonnie and caressed her face. "Read the spell darling."

"No." Bonnie pressed her lips together and didn't look at the Original. Klaus laughed like he enjoyed Bonnie's stubbornness, like this whole thing would be a game. "Alright." He said slowly and looked at Damon. "Say goodbye to your brother, my friend."

Damon's face darkened, he was so angry. Stefan was the only one whom he cared about right now. "Damit Bonnie, do what he says! " He saw the tears running down on Bonnie's cheek and he also saw the fear in her green eyes but he didn't care. "You have to save Stefan! All you have to do is read that damn book! It will be blood on your hands if he dies and I won't take that lightly!"

A few minutes later, he heard Bonnie's shaky voice as she started to chant the spell. As soon as Bonnie started the text, Stefan moved a little. Damon rushed to him immediately and pulled out a blood bag from his pocket. Stefan shook his head. "Bonnie…" he started but Damon interrupted him. "She can handle this. She's strong, don't worry about her. Drink!" Stefan took the bag weakly and drunk. It didn't take long before he was back to his normal self again. Just when Stefan sat up, the brothers heard Bonnie cry out in pain.

"Bonnie!" Both Salvatores shouted at once, terrified. Bonnie laid on the ground, her whole body was shaking like she was having seizures. "What did you do to her?" Damon asked in panic. He tried to attack Klaus but he felt the familiar pain immediately. He knew Stefan also got his own because he roared loudly.

"You said you needed her for a simple spell!" Damon held his head and watched as Bonnie's body slowly stopped trembling.

"And who said that you could trust me?" Klaus laughed drily. "She owns too much power. Believe me, I just helped her. You will see her life become easier. She will be grateful to me in the near future. "

Damon felt confused, he thought Bonnie died. "What did you do to her?" He asked again. Klaus smiled. "My wizard borrowed her powers for awhile."

"You can't do that!" Damon snarled at him in vampire mode but Klaus just laughed.

"I can do everything, my friend."

Damon growled again but before he could attack, Stefan grabbed his arm. "Bonnie needs us." Damon suddenly forgot about taking his revenge on the hybrid as he rushed to Bonnie and kneeled beside her motionless body. He bit his wrist and put it on Bonnie's mouth. "C'mon little witch…" He caressed Bonnie's beautiful face and forced her to swallow his blood. Stefan also kneeled; Stefan's mind was twirling with thoughts about many things but he didn't say a word so Damon started to speak. He only murmured the words to himself.

"I thought it was going to be easy. She is so strong. I thought she was going to perform a little spell and be done with it. I thought we could save you. Maybe she will be angry with me for a few days; she will torture me a couple of times but after that, everything will be the same again. She is so powerful…" Damon softly stroked Bonnie's hair while he spoke and fed her like a baby bird. "This is all my fault." he whispered as he took Bonnie in his arms carefully and lifted her up from the ground.
